DUNE DAYS SluCG Ii bhALU COA-
tanned the account of the arrival in this |

knowledge came to the pupils of the
Thirteenth Ward school, some of them

WE LEABN from prominent shipper
of Utah produce that there is great in
Jury done to the shipping interests of
our Territory By the lack of prompt
ness with which orders are filled by the
farmers. Farmers will often accept
orders from shippers here to load one
or more cars of potatoes to be loaded
and instead of going right
to work and filling the order promptly,
will probably attend to some other
business, thinking of course that there
is no hurry for the potatoes, and not
realizing that q few days delay Will
probably cause the shipper great loss
as well as injury to his reputation; the
farmers viii work for their own
interests as well as help the dealers by
filing orders more promptly and
well-Ee selected stock.
IT WAS sad home that Major w.
W. Woods came back to last night. He
had been in Idaho on professional
business for several weeks, but few
days ago was summoned home by the
news that mis- boy, Percival, a bright
promising child of years, had been
stricken by that dreaded disease
He had but little more
-afy nh |
second dispatch informed him that the
boy had succumbed to the destroyer.
Mrs. Woods bears up heroically under
the blow, but the bitterness OF her
bereavement can hardly be told in
words. The remains of the little one
will be inferred this morning at 8 O'Clock,
brief services merely being held al
the grave. TIE HERALD joins the many
friends Of Major and Mrs. Woods in
expressing the sincerest sympathy,
